Upon completing my sentence analysis, I realized a few things about the way my writing style is. I was surprised to see that I tend to repeat a lot of words, such as “that” or “within” Seeing this from an outside perspective, makes me take it into consideration and be sure to look for synonyms, or just different words entirely that can be replaced. Essentially, just increase my overall vocabulary enough to where I don’t have to repeat the same words in a sentence and make my overall point sound redundant. Another thing I noticed was that I had a few run-on sentences that were ruining the overall point I was trying to make. Instead of letting these sentences run on, and putting too much information in one sentence, it would make more sense to split them apart in different sentences. My paragraphs become much more organized like this, easier to read and understand which will overall emphasize the point I try to make in my piece. Sentence style correlates to other edits I plan to make because I have to keep in mind the way I write if I am going to change anything in my piece. If I change one thing, that will cause other things to change as well. When other things change, it’ll seem as if my text is jumping all over the place. If I don’t keep that in mind, my work will end up unorganized and it will actually be an incoherent piece to read.
